"The market is extremely unbalanced at the moment so it's much easier to sell your home than to buy one because we have low inventory," Orr said.

According to Arizona State University's housing report earlier this month, there were 12,623 Valley home listings on the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service on Jan. 1, down 6 percent from a year earlier.
With the decreasing number of homes for sale and a surge in buyers, Orr said it's a perfect combination for sellers.
